For a tackle, as long as he still has the athleticism, I don't know if he's ever too tall, within reason. The tackles are bent at the knees and waist, whereas the QB is standing tall. Plus, the added benefit you get from him being huge is more than the small visibility drawback.

I was wondering about this, and his weight too. I've heard that nothing about 320 is good weight, is that different if that guy is 6'10"? Or does he need to get into better shape. That being said. 6'10". 360. Damn. I would like to be the guy who is being blocked for by this guy.

I would have to think that some of that 360 is bad weight. I mean Shaq was only 325, and he looked huge even though he has 3 inches on this kid. I would say that around 320-335 would be a realistic "good" range for him.

As it is just getting leverage to block. If the guy you're trying to block gets underneath you, he'll be able to get past you. Of course, this will also mean that he's low enough to throw over, as the above commenters noted.

6'10" is massive, but I'd guess if Michigan offered him, they feel that he's got good enough flexibility and technique to make his size an advantage, not a disadvantage.

I'm in awe that a high school sophomore is that big. I really don't know what to think.

His Dad had a bit of a temper to him, word is he never quite forgave officials (as a group) for hitting him in the eye with that flag. As a Ravens fan I liked his play and understood why he would hold a grudge but wished he would calm down sometimes. It's a real shame what happened to him last year though, hopefully his family's doing alright.

That said, Jared Gaither is 6'9", so given some random inaccuracy in high school measurement, Orlando Brown might be "only" 6'9" as well. Ryan Mallett's height varied by a couple inches here and there too.

can you say tacopants reincarnate??? There was a absolutely huge on UM bball team at the same time as avery queen, very much the duo...I cant think of his name. Brown should fight him just for the pure spectacle of it!!!

Man you beat me to it. Aren't those Taco Pants stats? The joke of Taco pants is real. I woul dlove to see him line up at tight end and run(Big steps) down field. Impossible to cover in the red zone.

On another note, Hoke likes his playes to be huge! Good thing Shane is like 6'4" and getting taller. He'll need it to see over this massive line. Seriously it is going to look like those old goofy cartoons of offensive linemen. These are going to be good years coming up.

Likely not, as Acromegaly usually is seen in people who are very tall, but with average sized parents. His dad, however, was 6'7", which is pretty damn tall, so 6'10" isn't too far out of the question for him.

I met little 'Lando at his Dad's funeral this past summer. He was probably more like 6'7" 330 at that time, but he spoke at his Dad's funeral and there wasn't a dry eye in the house except for his.

He is a focused, intelligent, mammoth of a kid. He said then that he was intent on providing for his entire family as his father had previously. I hope and pray he goes Blue, he would be astonishingly easy for me to root for.

Looks like a project, but one with bigtime upside. Here's his Rivals page. If he's serious about football, his size and lineage make for one hell of a lineman. If he's not, his size and lineage could potentially lead to health problems down the road. With that backstory, I really want to see this kid succeed.

That is HUGE. We need him on the basketball court posting up down low! I don't know how good of feet he has, or if he has any hands for that matter, but could you imagine how unstoppable he would be down low?
